[DeTomaso] Busted motor mount bolt help needed

[John Maffeo]

Might have been me......at one time I had a stuck motor mount bolt. Easy out's did not work for me....or I could not get 
  them to work. Jack recommended heating it up with torch (oxy\acet) and then hit it with teh oxy and it will bacically 
  melt out. Well as luck would have it, that didn't work for me either.....there was a bad tip on the welder.
   
  So we pulled it out, took it to a machine shop and in just a few minutes, he did the same thig with a torch and out it came.
   
  I hope you have better luck than me.

  I remember an old time machinist having this problem on some motion picture 
camera equipment and more importantly, I seem to remember someone on the forum 
having this problem on a different bolt. Someone, maybe Jack, will have a 
better idea. 

You at least would have to pull the mount off the car to get access. Didn't 
someone suggest welding onto the remaining part of the bolt and then 
unscrewing it? Somebody chime in here.
